Which titles do you hate?

Don't know if there is a thread like this, but I do know there has been recent talk about titles.

I myself like going for titles, but never really went for them until I saw that you can get GWAMM for GW2, so I worked on it.

This weekend I maxed LB and Vanguard. I now have 26 of the required 30 titles. The last 4 I'm getting are Norn, Sweet Tooth, Party Animal, and Drunkard. I have some experience in them, but jeez... after getting all the other titles... these are the worst I think.

So, I ask, what are your least favorite titles, and how can Anet improve on making them better, if possible?

Obviously, for me, the consumable ones are horrible. I'm not big on making money, but I just feel like I'm wasting cash buying beer and making my character an alcoholic or diabetic buy spamming treats. I hate trying to trade with other players, and compete, especially without a marketplace. I think ArenaNet could make these titles better by either making consumables easier to obtain or lower the requirements. 10,000 bottles of beer at 80-100g each is... eww. I also hate the Luxon/Kurzick ones, simply because they use to be PvP titles, but now it's just another rep grind. Anet could improve this by making it so you get imperial AND luxon/kurzick faction instead of Balth, or by simply giving more for wins in PvP areas. Making it a PvE title ruined it for me.

So, what are yours?

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A THREAD COMPLAINING ABOUT TITLES, I'M JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW WHICH TITLES PEOPLE HATE THE MOST

the account wide titles--any and all of them. I have yet to max any of them and by my calculations it will take me approximately 10 years to.
the party/sweet/drunkard I was able to max by just playing the game (and doing nic runs, afking for every event finale etc)....so those werent hard, just annoying.

so luxon, kurzick, lucky, unlucky, chest, wisdom
(and any pvp title since I cant pvp worth ....)

All of them. None of them actually mean anything, they are all literally just titles that reward you for grinding.

Sidenote: Why do you say this thread isn't for complaining about titles? That sounds exactly what it's for.

I meant complaining about certain titles. Like, I didn't want this to turn into a "oh sweet tooth shouldn't be changed I worked for it" type of deal. It's all opinion based, not suggestive based.

Just one... Gamer, it's too rediculously high to max it and is not available to work on that often. It's like the one title I think should be redone.

For me the worst are the luxon/kurzick. I am r11 Luxon and r5 kurzick and can find no motivation to do them. I mainly PVE and it gets old farming and I can only find a little time here and there to do JQ or FA. I am hoping Winds of Change will have some new ways to gain some faction.

Couldn't have put it better myself

Wisdom. You can ID every gold item you find from day 1, but you will (I didn't anyway) never get the max title without having to go out of your way and buy a few......... >.> Yes I have tried Vaettir farming (0-5 per run). Still. Not. There.

All the titles are lame excuses for real game play. Yeah, I've got max Sunspear on a couple, Luxon 12, bunch of others. All a big waste of time.

How so?

Let's say, you are farming 100 golds per day :/

30d x 100g = 3000 golds per month.

Lets say less, lets say you farm 20 days or few days off, few days more, and you make 2000 golds per month.

5 months of doing this will get you 10 000 golds, and voila, wisdom title is maxed.


Now before you say something, remember, it is a grind. Like Luxon/Kurzicks are, so I just want to state, wisdom is possible :/

Personally, after 5 years playing, I've kind of classified the titles into 3 categories (PvP excepted)

Game playing titles - Vanquisher, Guardian etc.

Semi-game playing - Skill hunter, possibly cartographer, Luxon / Kurzick / Sunspear / Lightbringer etc.

"Consumption" titles - drunkard / sweet tooth etc.

I know there are others that don't fit exactly into these categories, but as far as I'm concerned, my interest diminishes the further down the list I go

the pvp ones, eveyone who has done pvp here can agree that pvp is full of people who think they are the greatest gift to gw.

You can't max Skill Hunter while VQing and doing Missions, I agree here.

But you can do cartographer while doing VQ

I did all the titles i needed and out of everything i hated anything to do with tyria whether it was skill capping, protector/guardian, vanquisher or cartographer. i did everything there thus far except vanquisher and now that's gonna be my final project. i've done almost all non pvp related grind titles, some a bit over board.

Edit: also, Luxon and Kurzick are probably easier to get than JQ/FA/AB, i honestl'y don't care about faction PvP, i vanquishes constantly for fun and other people and i have 20mil luxon and 14mil kurzick so yeah it's pretty much player preference. as well as my alt account has 5mil in each. so they really aren't that hard and even with JA,FA,AB it was ALWAYS a grind no-matter what, 10mil+ automatically means grind.

Lucky and Unlucky.

Everything else I can get some enjoyment out of completing and see some purpose to it.

Standing on rings for hours at a time and dumping gold to an NPC? Boooorrrrring. And good luck trying to max them just with lockpicks and clovers. ^_^

All the titles are what they are, nothing more, nothing less.

Guess what people? No one forces you to undertake any of them.

As for difficulty, it comes down to investment of time and goals.

I did gwamm in 4 months on my Rt, I am r5 Wisdom in 10 months (never purchased unids either), and I went from r3 Lux to r12 max in under 14 days (mqsc) and party, alcohol and sweet, well they are the fastest titles to max, it just takes cash, and cash is simply UW/DOA etc etc.

Don't want to put in the time/effort? Don't, but it seems to me those who bemoan titles are generally the ones who have none.

GW is about titles and "stuff" always was. Some of you do not participate in PvP or persue the various endeavors which embody the name of this game anymore, that does not change the fact that without goals to persue, we would all be wandering about Ascalon aimlessly killing critters.

Oh and God forbid Anet waters down the game or prostitutes titles much more, might as well make a command /gwamm and be done with it.

Oh cool! The typical passive aggressive person that thinks anyone ranting about something means they are crying, "OH PLEASE ANET! MAKE IT EASIER! OH PLEASE ANET STOP FORCING ME TO DO STUFF!". I make my own decisions to do whatever I want, I'm not being forced to do anything. Never did I say that. Never did I say I want things "watered down". Sure, I would enjoy not having to spend all my money on drunkard, but I understand the consequences and requirements WELL before I started going for titles. I'm not asking Anet to make things easier, I'm just saying it would be more enjoyable for players to not spam click a beer bottle and spend money. If I was asking Anet to make it easier, I would have posted it in a different section of the forums and asked "please make this title easier".

Now please stick to the topic of the thread, which is asking which title do you hate?

I hate the original LDoA.

Originally, it was abusive of methods and was, essentially, being AFK a lot of the time while monsters killed you. Far as I'm concerned, it wasn't an achievement - it was an embarassment.

Not the new one, though, now there's a title that requires actual playing, not time wasting, so I like it now. 'course, my primary can't get it now...

Cartography - and I have 4 Legendary Cartographers.

Each time I maxed it I did one continent per day (usually 85%->100%) which is not good for the back or eyes.

Never again.

All the titles that affect your gameplay: rep titles. Without them you're left at a disadvantage for some things. And not making them account wide discourages rerolling
